"Both Hahn and Murphy support the Downtown Area Plan." Hah! You've got to be kidding. Hahn led the fight AGAINST the Downtown Plan - that's exactly what Measure R was when it got defeated just two years ago. Hahn co-authored it, helped to fund it, and led the fight. Did you vet what these candidates told you?

I agree that Berkeley High can and should do more for its most at risk students, and its somewhat at risk students. But leave it to Irma Parker to say something ridiculous and divisive yet again. "... Parker said Berkeley High's priorities are geared toward college-bound students. They get special tutoring, for example," Just think...can you imagine the district restricting its tutoring to any particular group of students? Of course not. Tutoring at BHS is free and available to all who show up for it.But Mrs. Parker is a district employee and someone should point out to her that making patently false statements like this is not only unfair, it is irresponsible and inaccurate, particularly at a high school where kids should be geared toward going to college. Making that sound like a bad thing is just stupid. It's anti-academic. Can you imagine...a high school that is anti-academic? When is it time for Mrs. Parker to retire?

Transparent California describes its mission as increasing 'public understanding of government and [helping] decision makers.' But critics say its goal is to increase privatization, and that its work scapegoats — and endangers — workers.
